The Soldiers' War

Soldiers drawn into the war through lies,
yet you see confidence in all their eyes.
Ready to fight and ready to win,
but really the war has yet to begin.

They carry their rifles, posion gases, and grenades,
hoping they'll be alive by the end of the crusade.
A mistle has been fired into the air,
now the war has offically been declared.

But what exactly are they fighting for?
Is it really all worth going to war?
The true answer is unknown,
because all soldiers fight for a reason of their own.

Stormy, cold, and bloody days passs by,
each day more and more soldiers die.
As they march through fields of mud,
passing dead bodies covered in blood.

Life in he trenches is getting old,
every solier has trench foot and a deadly cold.
Each day the soldiers pray they'll survive,
but their hopes drop down when they see soldiers die.

Missing all their family and friends,
all they want is for this war to end.
A bloody battle filled with death and gore,
this is the soldiers' war.
